DIY: Paint Spill on Carpet

Sep 15, 2019

Painting can be so much fun, but can quickly turn disastrous. How many times have you taken on a painting project and accidentally knocked over the paint bucket or clumsily dropped your paintbrush? You probably saw what happened next unfold in slow motion. There was probably a pit in your stomach as paint made contact with your carpet fibers. You probably even thought “yep, my carpet is officially ruined!”

Hold that thought! Just because you accidentally spilled paint doesn’t mean this has to be the end of your sweet carpet’s career. There’s no need to panic!

As soon as you spill the paint on your carpet, dab as much as you can out of the carpet. Notice we said dab and not wipe. Do not wipe because this will only make a bigger mess. Once you’ve gotten up all that you can, apply a wet towel to the paint to keep the area moist.
